Abstract

Systems, methods, and computer-readable media for dynamically adjusting power settings based on a gain mapping file are provided. In embodiments, the method includes receiving and interpreting a gain mapping file associated with an antenna. Transmit power levels are determined for each channel associated with the antenna. Transmit power levels are adjusted according to the determination and each channel is adjusted to have identical gain.

Claims (26)

1. Computer storage device having computer-executable instructions embodied thereon that, when executed by one or more computing devices, cause the one or more computing devices to perform a method of dynamically adjusting power settings based on a gain mapping file, the method comprising:

generating a gain mapping file for a base station antenna, wherein the gain mapping file comprises a separate port gain mapping file for each port associated with the base station antenna;

communicating the gain mapping file to a controller associated with the base station antenna;

receiving, from the controller, transmit power levels for each channel on each port associated with the base station antenna; and

adjusting the transmit power levels for each channel on each port, wherein the transmit power levels are adjusted so that each channel on each port has an identical gain.

2. The media of claim 1 , further comprising interpreting the gain mapping file.

3. The media of claim 2 , wherein gain mapping file is based on gain characteristics of the base station antenna.

4. The media of claim 3 , wherein the gain characteristics represent gain versus frequency.

5. The media of claim 1 , wherein the transmit power levels are determined based on an interpretation of the gain mapping file.

6. The media of claim 1 , wherein the controller is associated with a remote radio head.

7. Computer storage device having computer-executable instructions embodied thereon that, when executed by one or more computing devices, cause the one or more computing devices to perform a method of dynamically adjusting power settings based on a gain mapping file, the method comprising:

receiving, at a remote radio head, a gain mapping file associated with a base station antenna, wherein the gain mapping file comprises a separate port gain mapping file for each port associated with the base station antenna;

interpreting the gain mapping file;

determining transmit power levels for each channel on each port associated with the base station antenna; and

adjusting the transmit power levels according to the determination, each channel on each port adjusted to have identical gain.

8. The media of claim 7 , wherein the gain mapping file is based on gain characteristics of the base station antenna.

9. The media of claim 8 , wherein the gain characteristics represent gain versus frequency.

10. The media of claim 8 , wherein the transmit power levels are determined based on the interpretation of the gain mapping file.

11. A computer system for dynamically adjusting power settings based on a gain mapping file, the computer system comprising a processor coupled to a computer-storage device, the computer-storage device having stored thereon a plurality of computer software components executable by the processor, the computer software components comprising:

a generation component that generates a gain mapping file for base station antenna based on gain characteristics of the base station antenna, wherein the gain mapping file comprise a separate port gain mapping file for each port associated with the base station antenna;

a communication component that communicates the gain mapping file to a controller associated with the base station antenna;

an interpretation component that interprets the gain mapping file;

a determination component that determines transmit power levels for each channel on each port associated with the base station antenna based on the interpretation; and

comprising an adjustment component that adjusts the transmit power levels for each channel on each port based on the determination, wherein the transmit power levels are adjusted so that each channel on each port has an identical gain.

12. The computer system of claim 11 , wherein the gain characteristics represent gain versus frequency.

13. The computer system of claim 12 , wherein the controller is associated with a remote radio head.
